Cap'n (DayZ)

Hey, at least this hasn't turned into a thread about gun control. Then we'd see lots of torn limbs and dirty momma jokes...

Ultra settings. That card KILLS the 660 Ti and the 7950(which is better than the 660 ti for less). And its the absolute BEST value in its class right now for performance... So you should breeze by on Ultra.

Hey guys, I'm having FPS problems with my current PC. I've got a HD 7870 and an 8150 OC'ed to 3.9ghz. It's nice rig that should breeze past High easy, but I'm only getting FPS in the 40's, and low 30's inside cities. Should I turn down my AA and other visual goodies, but they make it look so nice!

The term originates from the anti-gun movement of the early 90's, a breed of human while very resistant, lacks intelligence and common logic.

Someone once called me "diddy" and dragged me around whilst unconscious. A heroic hatchet murderer killed him and must've passed me up as dead; I was on the inside, the inside :(

You get the reference?

Mel Gibson was right?

That was me :D

That's the general consensus from my experience :P

I avoid people unless they call out to me. I'm a bit of a hermit.

I like the current weapon textures for ArmA 2, they are really high quality and look very good. Problem is, when you put it on the ground and see how awful the ground textures look, it strikes you "Damn, how is this?". Seems like its going to be the other way around with the standalone.

Sounds legit. Does that mean they'll add a hatchet CCO and Holo?

I have recently built a new desktop and I recently downloaded Steam. The ArmA 2 bundle(A2, OA, all DLC's) was on sale at half price and I had yet downloaded it for my new PC. After a long wait, I eagerly opened up ArmA 2 from Steam. It went normal, until my computer crashed at the start menu. Blue screen of death. I tried several more times and it did the same thing more than once. After a few hours of downloading new drivers and troubleshooting, I opened it up again it didn't crash. Instead, it was stuck with an image of my desktop and all windows opened but it was still the game menu. The music was going and I still had the ArmA 2 cursor, but I couldn't access the desktop or any windows/icons and I was forced to shut down manually. After downloading Planetside, I found that I had the same problem. I admit to overclocking my GPU to 1300Mhz(7870), when it was already factory overclocked and maybe that was an unstable clock for it. I have uninstalled an reinstalled Steam and I am reinstalling ArmA 2 at the moment. I have tried many, many different troubleshoots and driver updates lately and none of them have worked for shure. Is this a common problem or is it an isolated case? Please help me out, I don't want my new PC ending up as a $1000 paperweight.

I dunno, I thought "Overclocking, TO THE MAX BEYOTCHES!"

Arma 2 is a great game, and it'd be pure ignorance to neglect playing it once or twice to see if you'd like it. We don't know WHEN the Standalone is being released, so it would only be safe to go ahead and get it so you wouldn't have an unbearable wait.

You should go ahead and get the full package while you can afford it(A2, OA, and all DLC's for $20). Plus, you can play ArmA 2 which is pretty fun as long as you appreciate it for what it is and don't expect a twitch shooter(like CS: GO). I have a lot of things against those of our community who haven't even touched the base game. Go to the ArmA forums and you'll hear even WORSE from them. Trust me, its a crime to neglect a game this good just for a mod that's as good. If you don't like, that's okay. Its an acquired taste. But it'd be ignorance to ignore the base game. So I'd recommend you try it out to(and ArmA 3 is pretty sweet).

I would break his legs, make him bleed and drag him out to the debug plains. I'd make crawl a set distance to the bandage and morphine, but I'd secretly hide a satchel charge nearby just to keep him from actually helping himself.

CHKilroy's original video may not have been PvP heavy, but PvP still had a *part* in the series. At one point he mentions that Kevbo and his group(the other half when they split) had became a roving gang of "bandits". He even tried to convince Dyslxecki to kill some dudes for their loot. He was the only person with a decent gun(MP5) up until Kilroy got his Lee(I like the CZ, but many people don't). I'd hope the SA will be like this. PvP is there, but not "all encompassing".

Well, it would be a great shame if the game looked worse than the mod. Y'know, I don't think developers should get so hung up on making it acceptable for some of the lower end(I'm not talking low end, I'm talking "not suitable for PC gaming" rigs) people. A 6670 can coast by on medium(playable, on 60 fps) settings. A 6670 should be the absolute minimum. I don't want to see this game being turned into an awful looking game because a few kiddies complain that they can't run it on their mum's laptop Pentium GMA graphics.

If it was a DayZ movie adaptation, it wouldn't be so bad because of our expectations. But anything else, yeah probably.

I can see it looks much better.

Please give us more information on the GPU. Anything GT 650m and above will get moderate framerates on 720p(40-45 on 720p at high settings). 1080p, I wouldn't recommend for a laptop.

Since I run semi auto 24/7, I find it more practical just to reload after using an entire magazine. This is contrary to Battlefield, where I end up using almost an entire magazine on one player. Even after they're dead

I think I'll ride the wave before the crash :D

So, what do you guys think the acceptable age is for someone to play DayZ?
